The Role
Enjoyment factor really came from the people. They are people who I want to work and achieve great things with.
Unlike other internships, I felt like I was treated seriously by my superiors.
Very busy but why not spend the time to get the most out of the short time during an internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility regarding specific projects. Nevertheless, there is a lot of value out of getting feedback from others and to receive review points on your work so that you can improve.
At the start of my internship I was very progress-oriented. My mindset was to do things quickly to a high standard. However, I have matured a great deal since then. I now possess a risk-oriented mindset that allows me to understand how the tasks that I perform fit into the big picture.
The Company
The people were the friendliest and the most capable I have worked with. I couldn't have asked for more.
The objectives for my internship were laid out clearly at the start but J.P. Morgan had the flexibility to allow me to tackle tasks that I wanted to get exposure to on top of those objectives so that I would get the most out of my experience.
I was treated like a member of the team from day one and I was given core training both formally and informally all the way to the very last day.

J.P. Morgan is the place to be. Enough said.
The Culture
There were many opportunities to mingle and meet new people along my J.P. Morgan journey. The best thing was that the social scene was not fabricated at all by HR during the events. HR made sure that the social scene would be fantastic by selecting the right people to be on the program way before any of us ever met.
Canary Wharf is a buzzing place and the restaurants are the best.
Canary Wharf is amazing at night. It dons a completely new character.
There were many opportunities for us to get involved from sports to community awareness events.
